https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/17545/#When:23:38:24Z<p>Is the forum or site experiencing problems?</p>
<p><br />
I encounter all kinds of funny stuff when visiting; new posts not showing on the main page but when checking the actual topics, they suddenly reappear. </p>
<p><br />
Now the posts of the last 24 hours are gone.</p>
<p><br />
This link shows them while normally visiting doesn’t.</p>

https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/17218/#When:22:15:26Z<p>Hi All,<br />
I am having some difficulty getting registered over at Project Reason.&nbsp; When I enter my e-mail address it will not accept it, because I had used it over here first,&nbsp; and I am told the address has already been used, so my registration is being rejected.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>

https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/16717/#When:18:35:07Z<p>The forum heading “Politics, Religion, Philosophy, and Science” is missing something, namely “Business”. </p>
<p><br />
Why “business”? An example would be Consumerism, which is a belief-system unto itself, one that is cherished by billions. But it is also the most destructive belief-system on this planet, a thousand times more destructive than any war, or natural disaster, save the planet being struck by giant meteorites and comets. </p>
<p><br />
Advertising is inextricably linked to business, and perhaps should be included. </p>
<p><br />
People, the media and politicians are wont to refer to the damage done by Consumerism as “progress”. This is as evil a belief as the denial of Evolution by Christian neo-cons who want Creationism taught in US schools. </p>
<p><br />
As Sam Harris has often said, Atheism is a wiping away of old ideas in order to facilitate having meaningful dialogue (I’m paraphrasing here). Part of that dialogue must necessarily include how we’re living in the present day and what we’re doing to this planet. </p>
<p><br />
I’m not sure if Politics should be included as well, but modern big-business, politics and advertising have such an incestuous relationship that it’s hard to say where one ends and the next begins. In Canada right now the Harper Conservatives and the BC Liberals are trying to make it illegal for people to stand in the way of business interests, especially where there are environmental concerns. This is an example of Consumerism becoming Consumer-Fascism, which is the next logical step. Consumer practices are literally getting away with murder right now. Entrenching Consumerism in our legal machinery, though a blatant conflict of interest, is the way things are headed. </p>
<p><br />
So, how about it? “Business, Advertising and Politics” as a new sub-heading?</p>2012-06-03T18:35:07+00:00post formattinghttps://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/16561/
https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/16561/#When:10:10:10Z<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Does anyone know why the post formatting functions do not show up in the finished post?&nbsp; I can’t make spaces between paras appear or the Bold, Italics and Underline funtions either.&nbsp; They show up in the draft, or rather the code for them does, but not in the final preview or the actual post.&nbsp; I’ve noticed this on many other posts I was glancing through in various threads.</p>2012-03-24T10:10:10+00:00Power To The Moderators !!!https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/16445/

<p>The job is hard enough to do, keeping this forum free from spam and all the other responsibilities these guys have, but at this moment in time, there isn’t a clear piece of runway for any discussion to take off from. <br />
So please help, it’s hard to mop up the mess while the flow of crap is still running.</p>2011-12-05T10:46:32+00:00Baha’i Post and add a ‘Share’ Button?https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/16315/
https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/16315/#When:04:38:51Z<p>Having been a card carrying Baha’i at one point until I started critically thinking I would be interested on what others have to say or have discovered about this new (as new as Mormonism but not as new as Scientology) religion.&nbsp; The thing that got me to really look at it was their goal for their age of a new message was equality between the sexes…however it is written that no woman will serve on the Universal House of Justice.&nbsp; *scratches head*&nbsp; This opened my eyes to more discrepencies and set in more thought disonance.&nbsp; Clearly a problem for a critical thinker, or budding critical thinker. </p>
<p>The other thing, there are some really good threads and comments that it would be nice to have a “Share” button to link to our twitter, FB, or Google +.</p>2011-09-28T04:38:51+00:00Marking Postshttps://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/15377/
https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/15377/#When:18:09:54Z<p>I’m impressed by how intelligent and polite the conversations are in this forum.&nbsp; I wish I could mark some of the posts people have made so that I can refer back to them later.&nbsp; It would be nice to be able to star posts or something and create a link to them on some list in the control panel.&nbsp; Is there already a way to do that?</p>2010-12-16T18:09:54+00:00The Moral Landscapehttps://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/15317/

https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread8982/viewthread/15265/#When:06:59:40Z<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>After being pointed to Sam Harris’ essay on “Killing the Buddha” on the Shambhala Sun website ( <a href="https://www.samharris.org/?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shambhalasun.com%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcontent%26task%3Dview%26id%3D2903Itemid%3D247">http://www.shambhalasun.com/index.php?option=content&amp;task=view&amp;id=2903Itemid=247</a> ), I was rather surprised to wander in here and not see a forum discussing Buddhism, or—much more importantly—the teachings and ideas of the man we call “the Buddha”. </p>
<p>Might it be possible to open a “Buddhism” forum here….?</p>
<p>Thx</p>2010-10-15T06:59:40+00:00
